Can someone talk me off the ledge for Super Regionals. Been nervous since Tuesday.

Relax. Pour a drink, sit back and relax, watch Bull Durham and Major League. You’ll forget all your problems … then the game will turn out the way it is supposed to turnout. As fans, we are along for the ride. Nothing more and nothing less.

I’m nervous too. I think that’s just the nature of being a Vol fan but I’ll be ok if we lose. What will upset me the most about a loss is the end of the fun that watching this incredible team has been. That and it would tickle me to death to see the other fans (particularly Hog fans) have a catastrophic meltdown if we win it all. GBO! 🍊

The hog mentality is special. They think, because they won a couple of championships, they are the favorites every year. If they are not picked as the favorite there is something wrong with the pickers. If someone else wins its not because they are good, its because of some failure on the Arkansas team that allowed them to win. Example this year, they are the best team but their hitting is off so UT can win. Like they could stop this team from winning or being ranked number 1. They are similar to UK in basketball.

Dude, if we lose...........it's no big deal. We've won 54 games. Any more going forward is a cherry on top of a wonderful sundae of life. We should play loose with reckless abandon. Controlled aggression. Baseball is all about being one with the zen......relax and enjoy the show. It's just baseball.

Crank up the volume..

Win or lose its been a great season. Only one teams wins it all and there's one of those every year, but Tennessee has arguably had a year like no one before, and maybe never again!

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
The angry boy
A bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well, everyone I know has got a reason
To say
Put the past away
Wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
And well, he's on the table
And he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they are doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I
I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
We can put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
Understand
Can you put the past away?

I would not say Arky baseball is similar to UK basketball. Arky has never won a national title, and in fact, since they joined the SEC, we’ve won the same number of regular season championships as they have and we’ve won 4 SEC tournament championships to their 1. They have a great baseball program and great fan support, but they haven’t had a championship baseball program.

I agree. For some reason people tend to think of Arkansas as the CWS King and IIRC they've only even PLAYED ONE time in the championship game. They could win it this year...but for my money LSU is the only SEC team that can brag about gaudy stats for the title. Of course there's other SEC teams who've won a title or two but LSU has won like maybe 6 since the 90's. That's a dominant program and hopefully TV will give us a few chances to win over the next several years.

We should win this super. Having said that I'm like you. I've seen the coulda, woulda, shoulda way too many times when it comes to UT sports. I take no chances and always approach game day with a cup securely in place. ND plays solid ball. They've got the junkers to challenge our plate discipline. UT better start strong and start fast today. They've been kinda livin' on the edge of late. Sooner or later that will catch up with them. They've been pointing to this all year long. Now's the time to be the #1 team in college baseball.

Look at it this way, Last Year ND lost to the Team (MsState) that won it all.
History Repeats itself.
Enough Said......
I look at it as a Sign of Great Things to come....

Edit to Add: Tennessee is 3-0 in Super Regionals....

We’ve won 56 games to date. I like cherries. I’m thinking 63 wins would be a nice cherry?

Im nervous as well. Last year people talked smack about Texas all season and they eliminated us. Ive seen multi-post about how ND isnt worth their ranking. They are a good club capable of winning this weekend.

ND is a good team. They will certainly test our guys. At this point , in Super Regionals, all of the teams are good. *If* our guys make it to Omaha next weekend, things won't get any easier. The positive aspect is that our guys don't back down from a challenge and are used to getting everyone's best shot. . Nothing is guaranteed beyond the next 2 games. Might as well go all out and play

Well... except that many people who've made important contributions to individual lives and to humanity were once talked off a ledge. And how would we know that we were driving ourselves onto a ledge if someone who had been there didn't warn us.

Maybe "non-ledge talkers" are the real evolutionary cul-de-sac.
